Chapter 95 Shares

No matter which country you are from, you are a fool who is rich but not profitable.

So when Zhou Shuo projected a 300,000-word document onto the screen through a projector, the Japanese became nervous. They would not discriminate against Masayoshi Son, who had succeeded and fame, and naturally they would not discriminate against Zhou Shuo who proved his worth.

The cost reduction is nine-tenths, which is enough to defeat any prejudice in the minds of capitalists. At this moment, even the Afghan militia holding AK47 will be praised.

Masayoshi Son stood on the stage and looked at Zhou Shuo with a smile and clapped his hands. The Japanese in the audience seemed to wake up like a dream, and immediately applauded enthusiastically.

Zhou Shuo pressed his arm and held the microphone and said, "To thank you for your support, I announced that Xinke Computer promises that the first 300,000 words will be free of charge for any new customers! The subsequent charging standard is 50 yen for a thousand words!"

"50 yen!" The Japanese in the audience were in an uproar. Although they expected that the labor cost to go to China would be very low, no one expected it to be so low. 50 yen, a 100-word entrant, a monthly income of an ordinary temporary employee would not be less than 200,000 yen. Because if it was below this number, this person would not even be able to support himself. But how many words could he enter if he used this 200,000 yen to hire a Chinese?

A full four million words! This person's salary can hire seven Chinese people to work, not to mention the expenses of costs such as benefits, insurance, subsidies and management positions! Reducing the cost by 90% is by no means an exaggeration!

What's more, there is a trial of 300,000 words. Although these 300,000 words are not much, it is only a workload for ten people a day. However, the process of establishing credit in this way does not require the cost of the money. Who doesn't like it if you give it for free? Moreover, if the effect is good after the trial, the follow-up will be a big deal.

"I don't have to try it. Zhou Sang, can we sign the contract now?" Yukio Eguchi asked excitedly in the audience.

"Of course there is no problem, welcome this one..."

"I, Yukio Eguchi, the president of Okada Software Co., Ltd."

"Jiangkou Sang!" Zhou Shuo laughed and said, "Please come on stage quickly, we can sign the contract immediately!"

Yukio Eguchi ran to the stage and shook hands tightly with Zhou Shuo.

There was a prepared contract next to the workbench. After the two of them sat down, Yukio Eguchi looked carefully and carefully, he signed the agreement with a wave of his hand.

Of course, there are other companies that are similar to Eguchi Yukio, who do system integration and even specialize in data maintenance. They asked loudly in the audience: "Zhou Sang, can we try 300,000 words now?"

"Yes, anytime!"

With his words, the crowd below took out their phones and started to dial.

"Hey, let the maintenance department send a batch of files that need to be entered. Yes, it's enough to be within 300,000 words."

Juno Oda looked at Yukio Eguchi walking down from the stage with a angrily angrily, dragging him to a place where no one was, and blaming him: "San Eguchi, you will regret it when you help the Chinese people like this! "

Yukio Eguchi was quite indifferent, and he comforted Oda Juno with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Oda Sang, with the Chinese skill level, if you want to catch up with us Japanese, I guess you won't be able to see it in your lifetime."

"I hope so." Oda Juno sighed.

The hot banquet continued until the lights came on, and the crowd dispersed reluctantly.

After coming out of the empty banquet hall, Zhou Shuo stretched and smiled at Masayoshi Son: "Today's promotion meeting was so smooth, thanks to President Sun's strong support!"

Masayoshi Sun waved his hand and sighed: "I haven't done anything. It's Zhou Sang's efforts to have such a good effect."

Zhou Shuo shook his head sincerely and said, "I don't have such a great face without President Sun as the Dinghai Shen Needle."

"From Zhou Sang, I seemed to see myself ten years ago." Masayoshi Son sighed: "At that time, I failed to start TAG magazine. I just lost 1 billion yen and switched to software retail. From morning to night, I went to customers and held promotion meetings, and I often didn't even have time to eat. Sometimes, a meeting would be held from noon to night..."

Zhou Shuo sighed: "It is indeed not an easy thing for Mr. Sun to achieve what he has today. In every business empire, the people who lay the foundation always work the hardest."

"Zhou Sang also has his own ambitions in his heart!" Masayoshi Son smiled lonelyly, "But this road is not easy to walk."

He was also inspired by his own thoughts. SoftBank Group's operations were in the process of transformation. Previously, Masayoshi Son's main business was to run magazines and promote software. After 1995, he acquired COMDEX Computer Exhibition and then bought Ziff, and began to enter the Internet industry and venture capital industry.

Now in January 1995, he was at a time when he was uncertain about his future strategic direction. He also wanted to try the waters in the software outsourcing industry. After all, there was no way to talk about the software outsourcing industry without the development of the Internet.

Masayoshi Son had no intention of having a deep discussion with Zhou Shuo on this aspect, and asked: "Does Zhou Sang have any plans next?"

Zhou Shuo was excited and said: "I plan to establish a Japanese branch of Xinke Company in Japan, but it is really too difficult to apply for a Japanese investment and business visa. If possible, I hope to establish a joint venture with President Sun to be responsible for the Japanese business."

"Haha, this is fine. How about I invest one million US dollars in the new company first and hold 50% of the shares?"

Zhou Shuo nodded. This is the minimum number of shares stipulated by Japanese law. Without these 50% of the shares, the company would not be able to open its doors. What's more, SoftBank Group's current reputation, intangible assets alone would be more than one million US dollars."

Not long after the two of them walked, a person suddenly came to the corridor and began to say hello from afar.

"President Sun, Zhou Sang, good evening." Oda Juno bowed and introduced himself: "I am Oda Juno, the president of Tadonshi Software."

As he said that, Juno Oda took out his business card from his pocket, distributed one to each of them, and then said, "I don't know if Zhou Sang is convenient. I hope I can communicate with you about the ERP software."

Masayoshi Son looked at Zhou Shuo, saw him nodding, so he said, "You guys talk, I'll go back first."

Zhou Shuo hurriedly said, "I'll give President Sun a chance."

"No need." Masayoshi Son waved his hand and walked forward alone.

Juno Oda quickly bowed ninety degrees and said respectfully behind him: "Sun Sang, go slowly!"

After Masayoshi Son walked far, Oda Juno then raised his waist and sighed to Zhou Shuo: "I really didn't expect that the author of the ERP software is really Zhou Sang."

His software company is a technology player, and his usual data service business is subcontracted for others to do, so he didn't join in the fun later. However, he still took advantage of the banquet and asked in the United States with his connections and confirmed that the author of the ERP software was indeed Zhou Shuo.

Introducing ERP software to the Japanese business world has always been his goal. At this time, he was not worried about the rise of China's software industry, so he hurriedly left Yukio Eguchi and returned to the Ise Island Hotel alone.

Zhou Shuo smiled and didn't care about what he meant. Instead, he asked, "I don't know what Oda Sang has to ask me for?"

"That's right." Juno Oda seemed a little embarrassed to open his mouth and hesitated for a moment: "I hope to cooperate with Zhou Sang to jointly promote the application of ERP software in Japanese companies."

Zhou Shuo's eyes lit up and nodded, "Oda Sang's eyes are very sharp. Actually, I think ERP software should be better in Japan than in the United States. From the perspective of the industrial chain, Japanese companies are closer to each other than Americans. Although I intend to promote the ERP system in Japan, unfortunately Japan is too conservative, and it is very troublesome for foreigners to invest."

Juno Oda laughed and said to Japan's overbearing clause: "After three years of investment in a joint venture, the equity can be changed. If we set up a joint venture, I promise that Zhou Sang can repurchase my shares in three years."

Zhou Shuo shook his head and looked at him with a deep smile. Even if he declared the right of priority repurchase in the contract, the partner must first be willing to sell the equity in his hands. If the company has good performance, why should he sell it? This promise can only be said to be better than not, and his sincerity is really insufficient.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Juno Oda had to reluctantly continue: "I can own 50% of the company's shares, but stated that I use a dual equity structure, and Zhou Sang owns 1% high voting shares."

The so-called dual equity structure means that the company's equity and voting rights are separated to distinguish it from the system of same share and equal rights. In the dual equity structure, shares are usually divided into two types of voting rights. Stocks with high voting rights have higher voting rights per share, mainly held by senior managers. Stocks with low voting rights have lower voting rights, and even no voting rights are held by ordinary shareholders.

Zhou Shuo thought about it, nodded and agreed, "Oda Sang is very confident. OK, I agree."

Obviously, Juno Oda did not want to control the company, so his purpose was very clear, and he wanted to learn ERP technology through joint ventures. However, he was more confident in himself. Juno Oda wanted to use himself to obtain technology, and he also wanted to use him to enter the Japanese market. As long as he maintained his technological advantages, all his ideas would be delusions.

When Oda Juno saw Zhou Shuo telling his plan in one sentence, he actually agreed to the joint venture, he was a little surprised. He looked at Zhou Shuo with a cautious look again, lowered his head and bowed, "Zhou Sang's courage is indeed admirable, please take care of him in the future!"

Zhou Shuo nodded condescendingly and said with a smile: "Please take care of Oda Sangduoduo too."
